A Theology of Liberation: History,
Politics, and Salvation (15th
Anniversary Edition with New
Introduction by Author) by Gustavo
Gutierrez
Theology Of Liberation
This is the credo and seminal text of the movement which was later
characterized as liberation theology. The book burst upon the scene in the
early seventies, and was swiftly acknowledged as a pioneering and
prophetic approach to theology which famously made an option for the
poor, placing the exploited, the alienated, and the economically wretched
at the centre of a programme where the oppressed and maimed and blind
and lame were prioritized at the expense of those who either maintained
the status quo or who abused the structures of power for their own ends.
This powerful, compassionate and radical book attracted criticism for

daring to mix politics and religion in so explicit a manner, but was also
welcomed by those who had the capacity to see that its agenda was
nothing more nor less than to give good news to the poor, and redeem
Gods people from bondage.
Personal Review: A Theology of Liberation: History, Politics,
and Salvation (15th Anniversary Edition with New Introduction
by Author) by Gustavo Gutierrez
This is the first and probably the most crucial book on Liberation Theology
to follow Vatican II and the Medellin conferences. It's not an easy book to
read, but it will challenge you, as well as challenge what you think you
know about liberation theology. For any student of modern theology this
book is well worth the time and effort. Robert McAfee Brown's summary
book is no substitute for the real thing.
